Linda Ronstadt on the rare brain condition that ended her singing career

When Linda Ronstadt found herself struggling to sing, she thought the headphones she was using at the time were defective.

"I couldn't hear the top end of my voice. I couldn't hear the part that I used to get in tune," the legendary artist shared in an interview with CNN's Anderson Cooper. "My throat would clutch up. It would just be like I had a cramp or something," she added, noting that this was the moment she realized something was off with her health.

That was in the year 2000. By 2009, Ronstadt was preparing for what she knew would be her final show. It was in San Antonio, Texas, and she performed songs from her 1987 album "Canciones de Mi Padre," which pays homage to her Mexican heritage.

From pop to R&B to mariachi, Linda Ronstadt sang it all 03:35

"Literally my entire career flashed in front of my eyes. I remembered every show I'd ever done," Ronstadt said. "I was glad it was Mexican music," she continued, not only because it was her favorite music to sing but because she could rely on the mariachi singers to back her up. "I had 'em sing a lot of songs," she recalled, "because it was hard to get through that show."

Ronstadt, now 73, prematurely retired from her decades-long singing career due to a rare condition called progressive supranuclear palsy, which is similar to Parkinson's disease and has no known cure. "I was expecting [the doctor] was going to say I had a pinched nerve and they could fix it. And he said, 'Well, I think you might have Parkinson's disease,' and I was totally shocked. It took him about a year after that to come to the diagnosis and then took a little bit longer to come to supranuclear palsy," Ronstadt said.

Ronstadt was born in Tucson, Arizona, in 1946 and grew up on her grandfather's cattle ranch. He was originally from Sonora, Mexico, and the Ronstadt family would often drive across the border to shop and socialize.

"We knew many of the families in the north of Mexico, and we attended one another's balls, picnics, weddings and baptisms," Ronstadt wrote in her 2013 memoir, "Simple Dreams." "I deeply miss those times when the border was a permeable line and the two cultures mixed in a natural and agreeable fashion."

Ronstadt's childhood home was always filled with music, and vocal talent seemed her birthright. Her father "had a beautiful baritone singing voice," she says in her book, and her grandfather conducted a brass band in the late 19th century. Meanwhile, her aunt was a performer who specialized in traditional music from parts of Mexico and Spain.

By the time she reached her teens, Ronstadt and her siblings had formed a band and would play at local clubs. Commercial folk music intrigued them the most, Ronstadt writes; they would learn songs by Peter, Paul and Mary and then rearrange them to fit their own voices.

The Stone Poneys released their first and second albums in 1967, and soon after had their first hit with a version of "Different Drum," a bluegrass track by The Greenbriar Boys. With their song playing on Top 40 radio, the band got an even bigger gig opening for The Doors on tour. Yet at the end of their jaunt, the other two members of the Stone Poneys began to pursue other passions, and Ronstadt -- seen here on "The Johnny Cash Show" in 1969 -- became a solo act.

"I was painfully unprepared to be a solo act," Ronstadt writes in her memoir. "We had relied on Kimmel to write the songs, and I had no repertoire of my own." She began to experiment with the songs she'd sung as a kid and sought more musicians to work with - including the basis of what would become The Eagles, pictured here with Ronstadt and California Gov. Jerry Brown, whom Ronstadt famously dated.

Ronstadt released four solo albums between 1969 and 1973, but it wasn't until 1974's "Heart Like A Wheel" that the singer collected her first Grammy Award, along with two No. 1 hits. Both "You're No Good," her take on Clint Ballard Jr.'s 1963 original, and her version of The Everly Brothers' "When Will I Be Loved," climbed to the top of Billboard's pop and country charts, respectively. Ronstadt, seen here with Ringo Starr (left) and Paul Williams, picked up a second golden gramaphone for her 1976 album "Hasten Down the Wind."

As the story goes, Ronstadt had just finished singing the National Anthem at a 1977 World Series game when she stepped into an L.A. restaurant called Lucy's. She was seated next to California Gov. Jerry Brown and the rest, as they say, was romantic history. "Jerry likes passionate music. He likes passionate music, passionate women," Ronstadt says of her years-long relationship with Brown in the CNN Films documentary. "We had a really good time together."

But at the same time, Ronstadt says she began to long for something different. She found it in Joseph Papp's production of "The Pirates of Penzance," an operetta that put Ronstadt on Broadway. It may have seemed like a detour, but it was really Ronstadt returning to her roots: Her paternal grandfather wrote an instrumental arrangement for "Pirates" in 1896.

By the late 1980s, Ronstadt had tackled folk, rock, pop, country and even light opera - and the musical style that was calling her next was one that reminded her of home. Drawing on her Mexican heritage and the songs of her childhood, Ronstadt released a Spanish-language album called "Canciones de Mi Padre" despite resistance from her record company. It was a risk, but Ronstadt's convictions were rewarded as the album went double platinum.

Ronstadt, seen here accepting the Trailblazer Award during the 2008 ALMA Awards, released her last solo album in 2004. Called "Hummin' to Myself," it was a collection of standard songs recorded with a small jazz ensemble, Ronstadt writes in her memoir. "After I turned 50, my voice began to change, as older voices will," she said. "I re-crafted my singing style and looked for new ways to tell a story with the voice I had."

The biggest challenge that comes with the brain disorder is losing autonomy as motor control diminishes, she explained. "Everything becomes a challenge. Brushing your teeth, taking a shower," Ronstadt told Cooper. Individuals with this movement disorder have difficulty maintaining balance and controlling speech, eye movement and mood, according to the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke. They also often experience frequent falls due to the progressive loss of mobility.

"I find creative new ways to do things. I'm like a toddler," Ronstadt said. "Eating is hard ... I've had to relearn how to eat. You could carve a new brain map if you're patient and willing to do that, but it's hard."

She's also had to learn how to exist in the world without her singing voice -- and in more ways than one. Her singing, she told Cooper, offered bonding experiences with her family members, even those whose political views she doesn't share.

"Some of my family in Tucson are Republicans," Ronstadt said. "And instead of talking about that, we would sing together, and we'd have a great time."

But singing out loud demands a lot of repetitive motion, and for someone with a movement disorder "it's just impossible," Ronstadt said.

Now when she sees her family, "I have to be careful," she explained with a smile. "Because we've had so much taken away from us by this administration that I'm not willing to let him take my family relationships away. ... I try to just hum a little harmony some place in the corner."

With more than a dozen platinum or multiplatinum albums, 10 Grammy awards and a career that spans from the 1970s to the 2000s, Ronstadt is recognized as one of the best-selling American pop, rock and country artists in history. Her everlasting presence in American music and culture remains timeless, and the iconic artist was celebrated at this year's Kennedy Center Honors ceremony.

Ronstadt is also the subject of a new CNN Films documentary, "Linda Ronstadt: The Sound of My Voice," airing New Year's Day at 9 p.m. ET on CNN. Based on her memoir "Simple Dreams," Ronstadt narrates her own story starting with her deep roots in Tucson, Arizona through her ascent into fame. Her trek to stardom was indebted to her unique singing voice that could adapt to nearly any genre.

"There are going to be people who are seeing this who are facing obstacles, or facing Parkinson's; maybe some people who have just received diagnoses," Cooper said to Ronstadt during their interview. "What would you tell people -- what advice do you give?"

Ronstadt didn't hesitate.

"Acceptance," she said.

"Anderson Cooper 360" airs weeknights at 8 p.m. ET.

Ronstadt on singing: It's always a work in progress

NEW YORK, NY - MARCH 20: A police car sits in front of One World Trade at ground zero in Manhattan on March 20, 2017 in New York City. Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer has been voicing criticism of President Donald Trump's proposed budget that could cut as much as $190 million from New York City efforts to fight terrorism. Following two major terrorist attacks and numerous foiled plots, New York City is considered the nation's prime target for terrorists. The NYPD has stated that it costs $500,000 a day to pay for the nearly 200 police officers in and around Trump Tower on Fifth Ave. (Photo by Spencer Platt/Getty Images)
